JULIEN STRANDERS, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR T0 AMERICAN GHICLE COMPANY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF NEW. JERSEY.

DISPLAY DEVICE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIEN STRANDERS, a subject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Display Devices, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in display devices and is particularly adapted to display small articles such as packages of chewing gum, cachous, or other relatively small articles. My improved arrangement also provides ample and attractive space for advertising. My improved arrangement is also simple in construction, and requires a relatively small amount of material, everything being considered. I

Further objects, features and advantages will more clearly appear from the detail description given below taken in connection with the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a display device embodying my improvements in the preferred form thereof. Fig. 2 is a vertical section the parts being shown in section taken on the lines 2-2 of Fig. 3. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a sheet of material cut in the preferred manner to form a device embodying my improvements, the sheet being laid fiat in order to more clearly show the configuration thereof after it is cut out, and before it is bent to form the complete device. In carrying out my invention in its preferred form 1 preferably stamp out of card board, or other material, single sheets, the preferred shape of which is shown in Fig. 8. As shown in the drawings the device consists of an upright front member 41 and two side members 5 and 6, which are adapted to be bent backwardly along the dotted lines 8 and 9 respectively. 10 represents a member adapted to be bent down wardly along the dotted line 11, so that it will be depending from the top of the front member 4. 12 represents a bottom member integral with the member 10 and adapted to be bent backwardly from the lower edge thereof along the dotted line 13 as indicated in Fig. 2, to maintain the members integral with the member 12 and adapted to be bent upwardly along the dotted line 15 as indicated in Fig. 2. The side members 5 and 6 are provided with upright slots 16 and Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mal'. 9, 1920.

Application filed November 9, 1918.- Serial No. 261,764.

17 extending downwardly from the upper edges thereof respectively, and the back member 14: is provided with upright slots 18 and 19. For convenience in bending, the sheet of cardboard or other material may be suitably scored on the lines 8, 9, 11,13 and 15.

When the side members are bent backwardly and the member 10 bent downwardly as indicated in Fig. 2 and the bottom 12 bent backwardly and the member 14 bent upwardly, and the slots 18 and 19 brought into cooperating engagement with the slots 16 and 17 of the side members, as indicated in Fig. 2, to maintain the members in operative position, there is produced a box like container formed of the depending member 10 and the bottom member 12. and the backmember 14 and the side members 5 and 6, which forms a convenient receptacle for containing small packages or other articles as indicated in Fig. 1. It would be noted that the back member ex tends materially above the front member so that suitable advertising space is provided thereon as shown in Fig. 1. Also the parts of the side members 5 and 6, rearward of the slots 16 and 17 extend upwardly at 20 and 21 and materially above the top of the front member at to form braces for the back member. In the arrangement shown it will be noted that the bottom member 12 is -ma terially above the bottom of the front and side members so that the packages or articles displayed are supported materially above the surface on which the device rests, and considerable space is provided on the front member +1 for suitable advertising.

While I have described my improvements in great detail and with reference to the preferred form thereof. I do not desire to be limited to such details nor such forms since many changes or modifications may be made and the improvements embodied in many di'lferent forms without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention in its broader aspects.

What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 2- 1. A display device comprising a single sheet bent to form an upright front member, side members integral therewith and bent backwardly therefrom and having upright slots therein extending downwardly from the upper edge thereof. a member integral with and depending from the top of said front member, a bottom member integral with and bent backwardly from the Operating with the upright slots in the side ,members to maintain the members in operative position to form a box like container formed of said depending member, said bottom'member, said back member and said side members.

2; A display device comprising a single sheet bentto form an upright'front member, side members integral therewith and bent backwardly therefrom, a'member integral with and depending from the top of said front member, a bottom'member integral with and bent backwardly from the lower edge of said depending member, and a back member integral with and extending upwardly from said bottom member, said back member engaging said side members to maintain the members in operative position to form a box like container formed of said depending member, said bottom member, said back member and said side members, the parts of the side members rearward of the slots therein extending materially above the parts thereof in front of the slots therein.

3. A display device comprising a single sheet bent to form van upright front member, side members integral therewith and bent backwardly therefrom amember integral with and depending from the top of said front member, a bottom member integral with and bent backwardly from the said back member engaging said side members to maintain the members in operative positlon to form a box like container formed of said depending member, said bottom member, said back member and said side members, and said back member extending materially above said front member to provide advertising space thereon, and the front 'member'and the parts of the side members ,tegral with and depending from the top of said front member, a bottom member integral with and bent backwardly from the lower edge of said depending member, and a back member integral with and extending upwardly from said bottom member, said back member having upright slots coo-perating with the upright slots'in the side members to maintain the members in operative position to form a box like container formed of' said depending member, said bottom member, said back member and said side members, said back member extending materially above said front member to provide advertising space thereon, and the parts of said side members rearward of the slots therein, extending materially above the parts thereof in front of the slots therein to form braces for said back member, and said bottom member being materially above the bottom of said front and side members.

Signed at New York city, in the county of New York and State of New York, this 8th day of November A. D. 1918.
